A beautiful quiet place with amazing views of the Lauterbrunnen valley, is the Staubbachbänkli. From Wengen train station, walk past the COOP supermarket, veer right down the hill under the rail tracks then take your first left. There is a sign post and it is about 30 minutes along a view filled stroller friendly path. You will pass Mary’s café at the foot of Innerwengen where the finish line and the offices of the World cup are also located. Up a small slope and past a dairy, (with goats, donkeys and chickens) where you can buy cheese and icecream from their ATM. Shortly past here you will find the 9 or 10 seats that face the breath-taking view. You will need to sit down to take it all in. Here, you will see the second waterfall of the Staubbach. It is above in the forest but visible and a true waterfall itself as it. Apparently a waterfall is water flowing off a horizontal to drop around 1.5 metres or 5 foot. This waterfall certainly adds to the 72 in the Lauterbrunnen Valley. As well as a lovely place for a picnic, you may meet some local feathered residents or see some wild deer down the slope. |
